Here's a question: Does BC up the offer? $45 million over 3 years? How high can he conceivably go?

Just based on my personal business experience, desperate buyers make irrational decisions. BC needs to make this happen. It's not just his job that's on the line here but the his personal reputation and the organization's. If he can't get the GOAT Canadian to sign as a FA when he's got more money than anyone else, what the hell can he do? What can Toronto do? He needs this deal to happen. This isn't over yet....

I wouldn't want him to go any higher. If Nash doesn't want to come to TO at 12 Million a year, then fuck him

Lakers can offer Nash big money via S&T too

The Lakers are trying to land Nash, though it would have to be via trade and not free agency because they can offer him only $3 million next season, the “mini” mid-level exception.

The Lakers could try to acquire him via the $9 million traded-player exception they received from the Lamar Odom trade last season. Trade exceptions are hard to explain, but the Lakers would have to entice the Suns to sign Nash for $9 million in the first season of a new contract and then trade him to the Lakers for a draft pick.

Nash, a free agent after spending the last eight seasons in Phoenix, has already been offered a three-year deal with the Toronto Raptors for about $36 million.
